Unless I know you, I am unlikely to follow back if you do not use alt text or you repost many things without alt text. It isn't only exclusive of those with visual impairment; it impedes the utility of search and mute functions.

I've never been to a Cheesecake Factory and I'm honestly kinda scared of them now. 😬 (Hmmmm. Am I more scared of Olive Garden? Hmmmm. I might be.)

I was kinda bad about getting something fun. I was really close to picking a goofy tiara, but I wound up getting a 9 x 9 metal baking pan and some gluten-free snack mix. And toilet paper. Party.

"It is unclear why it took more than four years for the probe to be completed and nearly two more years for the investigation to be shared with the public."

I was puzzled and irked that I slept so much in the days following a reduction in the dosage of my one beta-blocker. Then this evening I realized I have a sinus infection. Just a little one! It's barely anything! But it's wiping me out. Geez.

Used a Swiffer dusting thing on the corner that was all schmutzy. Filled out my ballot and put it in the mailbox. Watched the @wttw.bsky.social documentary on the 1893 Columbian Exposition. I was gonna try to do one more thing, but my back hurts again, so I'll go listen to my audiobook in bed.

I borrowed a horror anthology on Libby a few minutes ago. Just read a story by @cheriepriest.com, Good Night, Prison Kings. Wow. Really good one! Damn. I was definitely in the mood for some complicated justice. Have I wound down enough to sleep? Oh. Have to log my BP. Okay.

Gabi: Squeak! Me: Hey Gabs! Gabi: Squeak squeak! Me: What's up, piccola? Gabi: Squeak squeak... Me: Peeeeeee co la! Gabi: 👀 She's too young to know that commercial. 🫠

anyway, Wolverine got his powers when a radioactive wolf was bitten by Ben Vereen. well that's what I heard.

Tim Snyder, author of 'On Freedom' and 'On Tyranny', lists the great many things Ukraine has done for the US and freedom-loving nations everywhere. Meanwhile, Trump probably meant he received no personal payola from Ukraine when he said “We’ve given a lot to Ukraine. They’ve given us nothing!”

This isn't so bad. I forgot that my jeans are more comfortable since I lost a few pounds. Again. For like the third time.

I don't want to put on public clothes and go see the new cardiologist. ☹️😩☹️ 57°F outside. Do I wanna wear jeans or my new pants? I think the new pants might need hemming. Hmmmm.

Diminish an anime! Soul Nibbler (I won't know what 19/20 of the animes are, lol.)

I made a quiche. Yay! I discovered a lot of fridge stuff that I had to toss. Boo. I touched frozen broccoli too much. Booooooooo. But I'll have quiche in like an hour. 🥰

The Ghost Energy A&W root beer is a little weird. Starts a little bitter 'cause of all the caffeine. Gets to root beer but with that thin mouthfeel zero-sugar drinks often have. Then winds up at a kind of wintergreen taste. It isn't awful. It's fine. But a bit weird.

Ooooh! 10 a.m. for me. Might work? We will see!

Gabi got a new bed for her birthday. She likes it so much that she hasn't sat on me in my bed for like 36 hours. 😆

Argh, headache. Can't get to sleep. I'm making coffee. And I'm gonna take some vitamin D and a painkiller. Do I want to switch from the Bosch audiobook I was trying to fall asleep to? Hm. The Mumbai mystery book was seeming okay.

Holy fuck, why did the song for "Small Wonder" just leap into my head? Aaaaaaaaagh!

I love these videos!

I'm crying. 😂

I didn't get a lot done today, but I did schedule an appointment for vaccinations next week and run the dishwasher. And I socialized, since my mom brought the dogs over this morning. Oh, and I bought Gabi a leaf bed with a cave that I stumbled across on Amazon, 'cause it's almost her 2nd birthday.

My mom said she was coming back to wash the upstairs curtains this afternoon. Well. I was very hungry. I have consumed nachos from McAlister's. I'm going to nap now. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hmmm. This is harder to answer than I thought. I think "weird" came pretty late. I started off around 4 with "I'm bad." And around 5 or 6 "I'm also pretty dumb." I'd say at age 8 I knew I was unusual because I got moved from 3rd grade to 4th. But weird? Late high school.

Oh my gosh. 🥹

Come on, bud, I drank like 8 ounces of regular pop, ate some brownie, and put big spoons of applesauce in my mouth. I don't even know how I went lower than 200, nevermind being at 58 right now. (Don't mind me. I'll be fine. I'm just annoyed and whiny.)

So if the USPS gets privatized someday, what happens with the stuff that postal inspectors do? We just not gonna go after wire fraud anymore?

Started "Hokum" on Hulu. (I forgot to cancel Disney+.) Horror movie. It isn't bad so far, but the asshole writer main character just did something awful and I dunno if I wanna spend any more time with him.

Coffee is ready! So, coffee and meds. I think I want to watch something while I do that. Hm. Horror movie? Cartoon? Reacher? I'm halfway through the 3rd season of Reacher. Looking forward to Neagley. I read a comic called "Vault" on hoopla earlier. Scifi horror. Nice art.

I underestimated how fun it would be to shoot dishes with Dawn Powerwash. I'm kinda surprised they aren't marketing it with gray plastic and manly scents.
